Loan Against Domains Portfolio

Recently I received a query from a Domain Investor that, “How to get Loan Against Domains Portfolio?”

Well, I really don’t know that, How to get a Loan Money on Domains Portfolio?

Because as far as I know, any Bank or Financial Institute in this world is not in the Business of providing Debt Finance against Domain Names Portfolio.

However, Domain Names are the new Asset Class and if something is Asset, we should get a loan on it. If we consider Stocks, Bonds, Insurance Policies, Businesses & Real Estate as Assets we are getting loan against these Assets.

So if we consider Domains as a new Asset Class of the Internet, than why can’t we get a loan against it yet?

Domain Names are the Intellectual Properties in the true sense.

There are many reasons for not getting a loan money on Domain Portfolio.

One is that, Domain Names are extremely new Asset Classes and that’s why the Banks & Financial Institutions are not in the Business of providing loans against Domains Portfolio. The reason is Simple. Because the Domain Name market is so much new that it is not mature enough.

The Second reason is that, The World is lacking Proper Domain Name Valuation System that is world wide acceptable. All of us now know that, Domain Names are the New Asset Class but unfortunately, the world has not yet developed any accurate and perfect Domain Name Valuation method.

It is true that the Internet is full of Domain name Appraisal Services but none of them is as accurate.

Here are 2 reputed Domain Name Appraisal Services on the Internet -

01) Sedo.com

02) Moniker.com

I think Banks and Financial Institutes around this world should enter into this Sector – Providing Loans against Domain Names Portfolios.
